• Ask HN: Graduating from gsheets without going full ERP

  If I were to really invest in dbms, and only able to read-only the data (analyze, query, etc) something like Metabase is my go to choice (https://www.metabase.com). If I also need update the data itself, internal tools builder like Retool (https://retool.com) probably good enough. But, it all depends on the use case. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• The End of Airplane.dev

  I am building https://github.com/claceio/clace and https://retool.com/, allow automation of operational tasks through a web interface while also allowing fully custom web apps. Clace also works great for running simple web apps locally. Building and deploying a web app should be as easy and common for backend engineers as creating a CLI app is. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• FastUI: Build Better UIs Faster

  This seems to mainly be useful for spinning up quick and dirty internal tools. But for that use-case, isn't it easier to use something visual and established like Retool (https://retool.com/) or that generates nice react code, like MUI Toolpad (https://mui.com/toolpad/)? - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Internal tools often make bad startup ideas

  There are obvious counterexamples, like https://retool.com, which is a successful company with solid revenue and multi-B valuation. > software engineers — who are often influencers in a purchase decision — are strongly incentivized to build instead of buy Regardless of what software engineers would rather do, pressure from real users trumps pressure from internal users. This especially true in startups, whose... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• YC: Requests for Startups

  I submitted an application for w24 that fits in the "Developer tools inspired by existing internal tools" category but wasn't accepted. I suspect my pitch probably needed work, and I also haven't started building at all yet and submitted as a solo-founder which it seems has less chance of being accepted. Here's the pitch and some details, in case anyone else is interested in the idea: > Supportal uses AI to... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Show HN: Easy file exchange between PC and phone

  For file transfers over the internet, https://wormhole.app/ and https://toffeeshare.com/ are often suggested. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• How to copy a file between devices?

  Isn’t https://wormhole.app/ the solution here? Note I haven’t used it, it’s just often brought up here as a good solution for this class of problem. Is it surprising that the author mentions a ton of solutions but not this one? - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• YouTransfer: Self-hosted file transfer and sharing solution

  One of the two creators of https://wormhole.app here :) Now that we’ve shifted our company’s focus to https://socket.dev, I’d love to open source Wormhole. I’m quite proud of the code - I’ve worked on P2P and file transfer systems for so so long that I think this might be some of the best code I’ve worked on. It’s just a matter of finding the time, but I expect this will be open source eventually. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• YouTransfer: Self-hosted file transfer and sharing solution

  It's unfortunately not FOSS, but I quite like https://wormhole.app/ - It's client side encrypted and P2P when possible. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
